Orthorexia

Suggestions, Comments, or Questions?

This week, we are talking about Orthorexia, which is a pattern of disordered eating behaviors related to extreme healthy eating and a fear of any foods that are not deemed “clean” by the individual. We talk about signs and symptoms and what are some of the best ways to help someone who may be struggling with these disordered eating behaviors. If you or someone you know has some of these behaviors, please reach out to a registered dietitian or a therapist who can help.

Gluten and Casein Free Diets for Autism

Suggestions, Comments, or Questions?

The gluten-free casein-free diet is a diet that was created to help manage gastrointestinal and behavioral symptoms associated with autism spectrum disorder. The research, however, behind this diet isn’t strong enough to truly determine if it is worth the restrictive nature of a diet like this. Putting your child on a diet like this is truly a personal decision that should be made after considering all the advantages and disadvantages of a highly restrictive diet such as this one.
